Am I being stupid? What about chmod -R u+w .* ? Or probably safer to do chmod u+w .* in individual directories.
Are you sure that command below caused this problem? I would have thought that adding others read permissions would have no effect whatsoever on users write permissions. It seems that this problem is more likely to have been caused by eg you editing these files as root and saving them, making them owned by root.
